In one of the most dramatic finishes to the season in many years, Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne claimed the 2017 title in the most dramatic style at Brands Hatch today when he overcame a 33 point deficit to win his sixth MCE British Superbike Championship title.

Manx Misery For Bird

Cumbrian rally driver Paul Bird’s much anticipated return to the super-fast asphalt surfaces of the Isle of Man was short lived when a technical problem forced him out of the PokerStars Rally in the early stages last night.

Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne scored an important podium to keep his title chances alive whilst enduring contrasting fortunes this weekend at Assen in The Netherlands where the historic track hosted round 11 of the MCE British Superbike Championship.
